Abstract

This paper aims to represent an approach to the problem of predicting the length of loop yarn on the plain knitted fabric from its structure. By using a structure model introduced by Popper, a mathematical model of a knitted fabric under zero load stress and the behaviour of the approximation of a real fabric were developed.  Some factors, such as the number of course and wale per cm, yarn number and  fabric structure relations were considered.

Keywords: zero load stress, yarn number, course and wale per cm.
